I am working at the SED as Senior Researcher since August 2021. My research at SED is focused on 1) the seismotectonic analysis of seismicity in Switzerland and surrounding regions including development and application of new methods for source characterization (e.g. new methods for moment-tensor inversions for microseismicity), and 2) test and development of novel methods for real-time earthquake monitoring in Switzerland.
